About Tramontana and Piran: “The Indianapolis-Piran Sister City Committee is an all-volunteer group dedicated to promoting their ancestral heritage. Tramontana (Italian, north wind) is a group of musicians and vocalists from the town of Secovlje (Italian, Sicciole) near the salt flats outside Piran (Italian, Pirano) in Slovenia, Italy’s neighbor in the northeast since the demise of Yugoslavia. Their music reflects the history and languages of the area: Slovenian, Italian, and Croatian. Piran, in the region of Istria, is south of the major Italian port of Trieste.”
